Alienware’s new machine also comes home automation-ready via Lifeware software.
Alienware has officially released its High Definition Media Server. It could have a better name, but after looking at the specs, all is forgiven.
This sexy silver box promises recording and playback in 1080p, a Blu-ray read/write drive, four TV tuners, and 4TB of storage space. It also provides whole-house entertainment via wireless or a hardwired network, as well as remote access from any Windows web browser, allowing users to access digital libraries from anywhere.
Now the sad news: The High Definition Media Server has no MSRP, and you can’t call your local Best Buy, because it’s only available through a professional installer. The company is currently signing up system integrators, distributors and homebuilders for the Alienware Digital Home Channel Program.
I was referring to the Phantom Data Systems Enterprise alternative in my earlier post.

They’re not really expensive, actually a fraction of the cost when compared to Plasmon UDO, EMC and the like. For less than 50K a medical imaging operation or law enforcement / surveillance operation can implement a 35 + Terabyte library with a 50 year archival life and performance guarantee. On the low end, 9 K will get you a 3+ TB library. Not bad at all.

yea it’s a Dell company. They’re playing the multi brand game. I looked up phantom data as well, they seem to have a strong presence in the medical imaging and enterprise blu ray space. With various versions that doesn’t require professional installation.

for the consumer space yes, but in high end graphics environments or client - server environments, I’d go to Phantom Data Systems for bluray server solutions. http://www.phantomdatasystems.com/bluraydisc.html Phantom Data Systems Blu Ray Server MAC, PC, LINUX compatible
